Reloading Newbie

[MajorPowerchord]

My buddy and I are going to start reloading. We are going to get a progressive press. Money isn't a huge object. We are zeroing in on the RCBS 2000 auto index press. Can someone look at my supply list and tell me what I am missing, make suggestions on accessories, etc. I really need a recommendation on a scale, tumbler, and trimmer.

While the RCBS progressive isnt bad, the Dillon 550 and up is much better. Really. Cry once and get the Dillon.

Number one the super swage isn't optional. It WILL make your reloading go much much faster.

The next thing is I'd say if you are just starting out never reloaded before, start with a single stage press. Learn the process learn what you need to watch for then move up to a progressive. I mean you can buy the progressive and the single stage for just a little more.

bullet bill already said it. super swage money could go elsewhere, but it will make your reloading go a lot faster and make it a lot easier.

I would say if you are going to spend the money...100% go for the dillon.

it is like the black rifle disease. you will catch the blue reloader disease.

great product, great warranty.


go to ar15.com

guy on there: eguns.com has them as very good prices where you will get a lot of free stuff when you order the whole press and your entire setup.

check it out. he is a dealer on there. I have dealt with him before, good guy, but have a plan to get off the phone because he will talk your ear off.

I have to agree. Go with Dillon!!

If your in the Colorado Springs area, your wellcome to try my set up.

RCBS has always kept me happy. There service is very fine.
